Loose, Complete, or "Really" complete?

[TR0N]

I'm really surprised at the answers here. I thought more people would like to have TG as complete as possible.

I'd would say the obsessed TG16/PCE collector would having it complete and all.

I'll mention one reason that a lot of people don't collect cardboard outer boxes on US TG16 games.

Quite frankly most (but not all) of the US Box Art is pretty lousy and it isn't as nice to display as the Japanese counterpart of those games. The general extra cost of the cardboard boxes combined with the fact that they're fragile leave a lot of people doing Jewel Case and manual only collecting.

That's why i'm not worry about having it's box for TG16 games.I just see it as a waste of space etc and so forth.

When it comes to PCE imports, I actually prefer loose games because because they're so much cheaper and the documentation doesn't matter to me.  I've picked up very cheap, loose copies of Summer Carnival 93, Gradius 2, Super Darius 2, Spriggan, Aldynes, Final Soldier, Shinobi, and most of the racing games over the years.

I care a bit, especially if the manuals were color and had nice art in them.

I can't think of any TG16 games with color manuals, but a lot of PCE games have them.

Haha, awesome.  ^^b

I personally consider Manual, Game, Sleeve (HuCard) and case to be complete. Perhaps if I had originally saved all the boxes I'd care, but now as long as it is complete without the box I'm good.

I also play everything, so sealed games don't have much value for me, unless I could get a sealed Magical Chase or something, I'd let that one sit in the box

If it's a CD game that came only in a jewel case then everything that came with it is what I look to collect. If it's a TTI released HuCard with a cardboard box but no jewel case I go for the game and manual.

Is there a list anywhere of exactly what games did not come with jewel cases or other items?

[SuperPlay]

I have not come across a complete list just this overview:

"All Turbo Grafx Hucard games were sold in cardboard boxes though the later releases (sometime in 1992 and later) did not include a jewel case.

All CD Rom2 games were released in cardboard boxes with the exception of Buster Bros. and Splash Lake which were sold in jewel cases, and Vasteel was packed in a foil stamped slip cover. All Super CDs were sold in jewel cases except Exile: Wicked Phenomenon which was packed in a foil stamped slip cover."

Also if I am correct the following games come with the plastic inserts rather than in a  jewel case.

Darkwing Duck
Falcon
Ghost Manor
Time Cruise
Air Zonk
Bomberman '93
Bonk's Big Adventure (3)
Chase HQ
Dead Moon
Hit The Ice
Jackie Chan Action Kung Fu
Legend Of Hero Tonma
Magical Chase
Neutopia 2
New Adventure Island
Order Of The Griffon (Dungeon and Dragons)
Samurai Ghost
Shockman
Soldier Blade
Somer Assault
World Sports Competition

Correct.  21 Turbochips without jewel cases, which is everything © '92 & '93 except Ballistix.

Shermatlock 2 also came without a cardboard box. Other fake SCDs would have as well.

"All Turbo Grafx Hucard games were sold in cardboard boxes though the later releases (sometime in 1992 and later) did not include a jewel case.

True, except for Keith Courage and the TG-CD syscard; neither of those had boxes and the latter lacks a case too.

The Super System Card is the only Turbochip which came in a jewel case with insert and the only one with a bubbled face. It also was not sold in stores.
